Steamed Pork Dumplings
Steamed or fried, I could eat a dozen or more of these bad boys in a single sitting. They are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. It has always been a go-to of mine to order them out at a restaurant. But for my birthday this past year my best friend gave me a bamboo dumpling steamer and it was a game changer. Phillip and I couldn’t stop making dumplings and these Steamed Pork Dumplings have been our favorites!
When I was first gifted the bamboo dumpling steamer, I have to admit I was quite intimidated. I had never used one before and was not sure how to use it. What pot do I sit this on? How long do I cook the dumplings for? Do I cook it longer if I have both racks of dumplings cooking at the same time? Well, how could you find these answers out? Try. Try. And continue to try. Also Google and Pinterest helped A LOT.
Once, I got the hang of it I was making dumplings at record pace. We used one of these dumpling makers but I have to say, hand pinching was the way to go. Phillip has become very creative in the styles that he makes dumplings. But as long as they steam well, I can care less how they look.
We’ll have to start sharing more dumpling recipes we make with our bamboo steamer. Also, so new dipping sauces for the dumplings. Let’s be real, it’s all about the sauce. Soak the dumpling first or even smarter pinch the dumpling so it fills with sauce before eating. Tricks of the trade from two dumpling conasaurs. Maybe even changing up the water or broth we steam the dumplings over…. just a thought.
From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
